Why CAT Training Australia?
CAT Training Australia provides an accessible training pathway in Cognitive Analytic Therapy for practitioners across Australia and nearby time zones. The program supports those working in a range of settings including private practice, schools, community and health services, and with people at all ages and stages of life. It is Australia’s first nationally accessible training program.
Skin in the game
Founder Lee Crothers is a Cognitive Analytic Therapy practitioner with over 30 years’ experience in mental health practice and psychotherapy. She was among the first practitioners to train in CAT in Australia and is an ANZACAT accredited CAT supervisor and trainer. She is also on the board of ICATA and ANZACAT.
So, she has some serious skin in this game.
Lee is passionate about using this effective practice to help as wide a range of people as possible. She uses Cognitive Analytic Therapy not only as a therapy model in individual work, but also within supervision and consultation, where its relational approach enables reflection on patterns within teams, services and professional relationships. She does this alongside her work as co-director and therapist at In Dialogue Practice, a private practice grounded in relational approaches.

Training doesn’t have to be boring: Lee’s Creative approach
Lee also strongly believes that rigorous, practical learning can happen in creative ways. This is why CAT Training Australia offers a range of ways to learn, whether you prefer written course materials, recorded learning modules, quizzes, practice therapy videos or deep discussion with your peers. Our courses also ensure participants feel supported at every stage of their learning pathway by fostering a strong sense of community, no matter where they’re learning from, be that Darwin, Dunedin or Denpasar.
Your pathway
People come to CAT Training Australia for different reasons. Some may have a passing interest in what CAT is all about, so might download one of our free resources. Others may want to go a bit deeper and view some of our training modules. Others still may know they want CAT Skills training or practitioner training and jump straight into that.
Everything works towards your desired goals, no matter where you start on your CAT pathway.
